Summary
Harvey said its acquisition of Benchmark will extend its asset-management tools across the full deal process, from initial screening to investment committee work.
Benchmark’s AI platform centralizes firms’ deal memos, models, emails and legal documents into a searchable system that speeds deal screening, memo drafting and portfolio monitoring.
Harvey already serves 50 asset managers, including Blue Owl, Bridgewater and KKR; Blue Owl has used Harvey firm-wide since September 2025 across investment and business operations workflows.
The purchase is Harvey’s third acquisition of 2026 after Hexus and Lume AI, with terms undisclosed.
The deal also highlights a broader expansion race in legal tech: rival Legora has made 4 acquisitions since March, including commercial real-estate AI platform Cadastral.
